Crescent Stones - Videogame

I'm a man of many trades. I'm employed as a IS Programmer at a local company, freelance web developer, and like to create videogame projects as well. However, my skills with logo design are quite limited, so I hope that you can help me out here. I'm actually still in the middle of another contest I posted, but loved the results so much that I'm wanting another for my own personal videogame project, Crescent Stones. Crescent Stones is a videogame I am developing in my free time. I'm inspired by anime and games such as the Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, and DragonBall Z and would like to logo to reflect the a similar sense of fun and adventure. Easier said than illustrated, right? (Sorry!)

    Company Intro
    I'm a man of many trades. I'm employed as a IS Programmer at a local company, freelance web developer, and like to create videogame projects as well. However, my skills with logo design are quite limited, so I hope that you can help me out here. I'm actually still in the middle of another contest I posted, but loved the results so much that I'm wanting another for my own personal videogame project, Crescent Stones. Crescent Stones is a videogame I am developing in my free time. I'm inspired by anime and games such as the Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, and DragonBall Z and would like to logo to reflect the a similar sense of fun and adventure.

    Instructions
    Some colors I have in mind are a blue - white kind of theme. However, please present some color options as well. I happen to really enjoy blue - green, or red - orange as well... I'd really love to have all ideas out on the table for this one. I understand that is a lot of work, so I hope the price tag on this will be a good motivator. The font can go many different ways. I am leaning more towards a 'fun' font like DragonBall Z (see attached image), but I also think a more serif font such as Final Fantasy (also attached) may be of great interest as well. Round font characters (slightly 3D?), gradiants, shadows, etc. may be attractive as well for my purposes. This will be a logo that will be displayed on the title screen of the game, website, etc. and I definitely want it to look fun, no matter where it's located. To throw an extra curve ball at this - I would like to have an actual 'stone' or 'gem' in the logo, if possible and feasible. I was thinking of replacing the 'o' in the word Stones with a stone, gem, etc. I'm not sure if this can be pulled off well, but I definitely think that would be a great addition to the logo if that was perfected. Perhaps even a small glare/shine would really set it off! This reminds me a bit of the icon in the Final Fantasy logo with the meteor in the background (see attached image).

    Ok thanks! I'll post some more details soon.

    Please review this image demonstrating the features I am looking for in the logo. Also, please remember to use a white background from this point forward.

    The attachment demonstrates the logo if both words are next to each other. I will upload another as if the words are stacked (I like both versions)

    Another note today: regarding the affects, can we try one with a flare/glare on the stone? I would like it "lighter" than standing out too much, but please post a variation of it and I would like to know how well it looks.

    I have chosen my finalists. It was EXTREMELY difficult in choosing who would go on to the next round. Thank you all so much for your participation.

    I'm looking forward to finishing this contest up in a few days and will definitely hold other contests for my future needs.
